Unfortunately the gents above are right.
Anyway, if you decide to try how far you can get with the job, my guess is that the "particle board" you mentioned, if that is what I know as "chipwood", is your best bet. Forget styrofoam.
Layers of chipwood (or plaster plates) with maybe cardboard or rock wool between them, if you can get your hands on it? Tightly assembled, floor, ceiling, walls, as the noise finds the smallest holes.
If you can build the structures thick enough, at least 6-8 inches, it will do something, but if it's enough...I can't tell.
With 8-10 inches of this chipwood and other stuff all around you may face some issues with electric or fire safety regulations, too, and perhaps you even need to count the sheer weight or the structures to avoid very unpleasant surprises.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
